Featured review
This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

A month has gone by since I ordered this, and since my payment was charged -- but still no product. WORSE, though, is that there is no number to call to get an answer about it, and the 'customer service' email they give you is useless because nobody ever responds. I've emailed them twice and it is as if my notes have gone into a black hole...

Hey Lois Matrone!

I was told that these scars will definately fade over time but I'm thinking it's going to be a very long time as yet. Some people will say that certain scars never heal and I believe this may be true. I have had scars turn white in the sunlight so I am thinking this is a last resort for me. The scars I have from blemish free do fade away when I press hard on them so maybe there is a small chance they will go away some day? Keep me posted on how you are healing! Thanks

Recieved mine this morning didnt take long at all it was shipped last thursday so less then a week! Sprayed it straight onto my skin to remove patches of freckles. My skin is red and feeling a bit tight but that is meant to happen. I will keep you all updated through out the week!

IMPORTANT
=========

a simple google search for LIQUID NITROGEN TREATMENT EFFECT resulted in sites which state that it might leave permanent darker tone...

so if it is not healed within few days/weeks...i guess you're stuck w/ it for ever

(i have 2x and stupidly enough i tried on the forearm and unfortunately they're still very visible after almost 3 months)

There's 2 sites that say liquid nitrogen will fade with time almost never leave scarring. Davii is just getting a rise out of us. You think it's funny I can't swim, I can't f***, I can't have a girlfriend. I live my life under a sweater. If this doesn't work out I'll be putting a bullet in my head.

Louis I hear ya man I just recieved my kit today and have already looked at it. It looks like a huge pain in the ### to use, but like you this is virtually my last resort bro. Don't jump to anything rash man just wait it out I'm sure it's gonna work out for both of us. I'll let any skeptics know how it worked. I have very very fair skin. Does anyone know if thats gonna work to my advantage?

Don't worry about the fairness of your skin. It might delay the speed of healing time a bit. Just make absolute sure you use the focus tube and some vaseline helps apparently too, don't make the same mistake as me. If this doesn't work or if the redness doesn't fade, I'm going to a plastic surgeon. You always hear about how getting these things surgically removed leaves a big scar. Well plastic surgeons have good techniques and stuff they put on the moles to diminish the scars, I've heard that scars from plastic surgeons are nearly invisible. If you just get it removed by some regular doctor, then yeah all they do is cut it off and you're left with a scar. I have $13, 000.00 in my bank account right now, I will pay it all to get my 100 or so small flat moles removed. I also want him to do something about the scarring from this blemish free if it's still there and my scars from dermatend which do look pretty permanent. Do you think 13, 000 will be enough?

These F*n moles are ruining my life, I never had a youth, I'm 21 now and have been a caged bird for the past 1o years and I am dying to ask a girl out but I can't until I get this done. I am sure many people out there are like me so we should work together on this board... if you find anything at all or have any information, you should post it, I will do the same.

Hey Louis!

I totally sympathise with you as I also live my life under a sweater! I am so self concious of these horrible scars that I can't even wear a bikini this holiday. It looks like the scars are turning brown now and I can't see them fading any more. They are so bold and ugly, I wish i'd been more careful using this product. It is so hard to apply to certain regions. I too feel like taking the bullet to my head :-(

Well don't Kat, be patient I am. My dad had a freeze burn with frozen propane or something when he was younger, he said it took a very long time to fade but it did fade. Go to a dermatologist and discuss all possible options, in fact that's what I am going to do. Anyways does anyone know how far 13 grand gets you with plastic surgery, if I give someone that kind of dough I expect I get what I want.

Hey Louis I never ment anything apart what I read...

http://www.skinsite.com/info_liquid_nitrogen.htm

Part 3 point 4
Liquid nitrogen treatment often leaves a permanent, white scar which is usually flat.

even though often does not mean always; chances are so.
and mind you, i'm in the same s* as you as I did use this thing aswell :(
so its not THAT funny!

I purchased this product and believe me it does not work! I have read a few of you that have had sucess and thats get. If that is the case. I used the product exactly as they say to and the spots get darker and nothing else. They do not scab or fall off. I am really concerned because there is red around where the spot is and the spots are darker and it has been three weeks. I am going to see my doctor and hope I have not caused a more severe problem than before using this product.
I personally will ever try it again.
Good luck to you all.

I am too embarrased to go and see a dermatologist to sort out these scars :-( I think the product does work but it will only ever replace the blemish with a scar so to me that just seems pointless :-(

My friend has suggested I buy a UV lamp as apparently they are good for healing and fading scars? Would anybody else recommend this?

Hi Jenni, I'm on day 6 now and I used it on three small flat moles. Much like yourself I have a redness around the area where the focus tube overlapped and non of the moles have removed. I didn't get a blister or scab.

I emailed Charlene about this and she said to wait it out to make sure I don't have a 'Rare' skin type which will cause it to go dark after about a week from pink and if not to reapply for 2 seconds longer than last time. I'm not sure if thats a dark red or brown. I am now thinking it might not work for me because i would have expected at least one of them to come off.

I'll let you know if mine starts to fade, and whether I do reapply. Did the product remove your blemish before going red and how long / how many times did you apply.

J

Jenni
May 23, 2008 6:35 am EDT

Nope my blemish is still there and extremely red and sore! I didnt use the focus tube though but charlene said it would be fine not to! Im hoping it does not stay like this permanently because for a few people it has! i have only applied it once but i ordered some more to try again but wont use it if this red doesnt start to fade! Yes please keep me updated and i will 2! Thanks so much!

I got my blemish free in the mail the other day and to be honest im kind of scared to use it now because of all these testimonies. I really dont know what im gonna do about this, but im fed up with these moles and like a few of you on here I am scared to ask out this one girl and I can never swim or anything. I think alot of people are suffering from this but no one ever knows cause I think we're all so good at hiding it. Good luck everyone I hope someone comes on here with info on a product that actually works.

May 23, 2008 8:01 am EDT

Justin I suggest you try it out on somewhere less visible, like on your hip (as they suggest) ...but dont be surprised if the dark patch remains

they say that only "a ratio of 1 : 500 (95% of which are woman) do not benefit from this product"
hmm...seems like only those 1 out of 500 are purchasing this product?

Hi Jenni!

Thanks for the advice and the web link! I am just thinking that if I tan my skin lightly using UV it might make the blemishes blend in better as the scars are the same coulour I would go if I had a sun tan! I know it sounds daft but I am hoping eventually these red scars turn white!

Louis and Davii, why are you looking into the effects of liquid nitrogen? Its stated on the blemish free website that they dont use liquid nitrogen. And if ya dont know whats in the can, you cant guess the outcome we are all taking a gamble using this stuff and i keep seeing messages from people that have tried it on two or three moles and getting disappointed when it doesn't work. try it somewhere hidden and wait a few weeks to see what happens before you all lace yourselves with the stuff. Its common sense.

D

Davii
May 23, 2008 12:55 pm EDT

Colly actually you're 100% right, the blemish free stat it is NOT liquid nitrogen, but then again they don't state what it is

>

(and by law, at least here in Europe, the can should have the 'contains' label; don't really know in the US so I can't complain)

I'm not into medic stuff so all my limited mind could think about is that a 'freeze' spray could go anywhere near liquid nitrogen as further more all the side effects perfectly match (stinging sensation and such). So basically that why I "thought" of it like LNitro

As for trying the product, I've treated mine like 3months ago and they're still visible; so it's defintely not a matter of weeks!

May 23, 2008 3:44 pm EDT

Technically they should tell you what the can contains especially if could contain any harmful chemicals people could be allergic to but id like to think this business have done their homework and have made a proper blemish remover and if not, they will have to deal with the bad publicity. But as i said before if you used the product somewhere well hidden once and see how and if it healed then there wouldnt be so many people upset here because of obvious scarring because they just threw the stuff on like it was body lotion. Its up to each individual to use the stuff correctly and if the focus tube is so hard to use, get someone to give you a hand.

It doesn't even seem possible that these will stay red forever, they better turn skin colour some day. I'm getting mederma and I am also think of trying BIOSKINCARE, for the redness, has anyone tried bioskincare?

D

Davii
May 24, 2008 3:36 am EDT

dunno about bioskincare, seems like the official website is down. Does it removes moles too tho?

right now i'm trying to find an HONEST 3rd party site which reviews such 'mole-removing' products, but I haven't come across anything accept Amazon

According to Amazon customer reviews it seems like wart and mole vanish works best
(dermatend an others had more negative reviews then positive ones)

Has anyone tried this Wart & Mole Vanish? the treatment looks kinda scary tho with those needle stuff :(

May 24, 2008 7:49 am EDT

hmm

Does it mean one must wait 7months for an effective result?
dunno...to be honest I didn't really like those white dots that where left. (and being so visible over youtube I wonder how they look like infront of you)

I mean having a white dot instead of a single large ugly hairy mole it would be fine, but if its for those tiny-alloveryourbody-dot-moles I don't think the result will be pleasing.

I'll just think about it - don't wanna rush like the blemish-free purchase and make another mess :(

2 words supercop... or maybe it's one word? that's what I'm doing next, there is no mention of scars using supercop just some irritation and most importantly success! That's what I have read on message boards. I would go to a laser clinic but I've heard they can't laser off deep rooted moles so I don't know? What if you did a number of laser treaments on deep rooted moles, does anyone have any experiences with laser surgery on moles? Supercop and lasers will also treat the scars we got from these ### bags who sell dermatend and now blemish free. You guys should really look into some alternatives.

but ive heard they're preeeeety exp $$

Hey Kat!

Yeah maybe give it a try then if the scars are the same colour as when you have a tan or you could try this stuff to cover them while they heal?

I have heard this stuff is really good at covering scars if you get the right shade!

Guy's i'm on day 10 now and things are looking more promissing. Two of the flat moles did go harder a bit like a scab and the top layer of one has now come off and i'm left with what looks more like a freckle.

I'm still unsure weather the pink is going to turn darker which would mean i have this 'rare' skin and whether the resulting freckle is the mark the product has left behind so i haven't applied a second time yet so I can see what the complete results are then decide.

Although my results are not perfect yet i am still in the early stages and currently the freckle looks better than the mole did, simply cos its alot more faint, so I definately wouldn't write this product off yet.

Obviously for those who applied alot at early stages the situation is much worse but i think the key here is make sure your really careful on first application and build it up 'Always start with the focus tube'. I applied mine that lightly I thought it hadn't done anything and even started to moan about this earlier but it has definately made some difference now to two of them.

Charlenne has said she'll extend the warenty for us if we need longer so don't just dive in and we may all be pleasantly supprised. I know it would be nice to spray it all over and hey presto we all have unblemished skin but i don't think any of us really believed that to start with and i would have expected at least weeks if not months to heal even for a small area never mind a large area, hell it's freezing our skin off, LOL, if i graze my knee or burn myself it takes weeks so i would expect the same for this. As long as you don't scar any reasonable improvement is worth £70 if you ask me.

I'll keep posting as the days pass as i have been doing and i'll post if i apply a second time. I'm taking pictures too cos I'll be sending for the free refill if it works and I'd like people to know that it's worked if it has. I never even imagined that i'd be able to buy a can of whatever which sprays off a mole so lets not discourage others because it could dramatically change some peoples lives.

I think a topic of all types of remedies and experiences is a briliant idea but i'd say a new thread would be the best place and just post a link to it from here.

Good Luck Everyone

"It's amazing, they can fly to ###ing mars but no one can find a way to safely remove a mole without a scar." I've been saying stuff like that for years Justin, but check this out, I just saw it on CNN... http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/05/26/regrowing.body.parts/index.html

This kind of thing just tells me that the answer to our problems is out there somewhere, we just got to look in the right place, or one of these genius scientists just has to contribute a little bit of his time to our problem. I mean if they can friggin grow back limbs, then a few mole should be a piece of cake. Hell I'll get my arm chopped off and regrown, just to get rid of this ### on it. Anyways these regenerative innovations are reminding me a lot of copper peptides, look into copper peptides, that's what supercop is. It uses acids to kill the mole then copper peptides to regenerate and make new skin. I'm going to look into pixie dust.

M4rk2 good luck w/ ur procedure

i did try something similar, but a single 6 sec application (or whatever was the suggest duration on paper) was not long enough, and i tried adding those additional 2 sec... I also tried re-spraying the 2nd time after 2months or so, to give time for the brown/pink to fade away

yet its still showing as it was on month 1 and month 2...now im on month 3

(i bought this stuff almost a year ago!)

Yo Louis, good to chat with you on here man. There has to be something out there that can help us. It can't possibly be this complicated. Charlene sent me a free blemish-free kit to use. I still haven't tried cause to be honest I'm kind of scared to after all these testimonials, which are more bad than good. I don't get why Google and Yahoo sponsor this company if it doesnt work.
